We mostly cover hardware and software for creative pros and hobbyists on Creative Bloq, but even us passionate creatives have to let our hair down every once in a while, right? So when gaming accessory company Playseat got in touch about a new sim-racing chair they’re launching, little wannabe racer me couldn’t say no, now could I?

So I’ve had the Playseat Challenge X Logitech G Edition in my house for a few weeks, taking up a part of the lounge floor after work quite a few times, as I have found just how misplaced my confidence as a ‘great racer, if I just had the right kit’ really is. Because I can’t blame the Challenge X seat, that’s for sure.
